Lesson

1 Chemical Bonding:

Properties of Compounds In the previous module, you have learned how the development of atomic models

like the Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom lead to the description of the

behavior of electrons within atoms. In this module, you will focus on how the different

types of compounds (ionic or covalent) can be recognized based on their properties

such as melting point, hardness, polarity, and electrical and thermal conductivity.

Here are some key questions for you to ponder after finishing this module:

1. How will you identify and describe ionic and covalent compound based on

their chemical formula and chemical name?

2. What are the different physical properties of ionic and covalent compounds?

3. How will you distinguish ionic from covalent compound based on their

physical properties?

4. What are the different natural phenomena that uses different properties of

ionic and covalent compound?

table below shows the list of commonly used chemical compounds. Identify the name of elements included in the given compound and determine whether the elements

are metal or non-metal. Answer for number 1 item is provided as an example. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

What is It

Let’s Bond with Ionic and Covalent Compounds Compounds play a big part in our everyday life, like for example, you can find

compounds present in food, air, cleaning chemicals, and literally in every object that

you can see or touch. Compounds are made up of elements that are chemically

bonded by electrostatic forces. Compounds can be classified as ionic or covalent. An

ionic compound is formed when metal (cation) transfers its valence electron/s to a

nonmetal (anion). The covalent compound is formed when nonmetals share their

valence electrons with another nonmetal. The figure below shows an illustration on

how each element transfer or share their valence electrons to attain stability.

Figure 2: Formation of Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Identifying and Describing Compounds through its Chemical Formula and Chemical Name Ionic and covalent compounds can be identified and described through their

chemical formula and name by observing the types of elements involved in a

compound. In chemistry, the chemical formula is a symbolic expression signifying

the number of atoms present in a molecular substance. We determine the type of

atom by referring to its chemical symbol. The number of atoms is determined by

the subscript attached to the symbol. On the other hand, chemical name shows

the name of each element involved in a compound. For example, carbon dioxide,

the chemical formula is written as C𝑂2. This means that this is an example of a

covalent compound, since the elements involved are nonmetals, namely, one carbon

atom and two oxygen atoms. Moreover, sodium chloride, which chemical formula

is written as NaCl is an example of an ionic compound. Since the elements involved

in a compound are sodium (Na) a metal and chlorine (Cl) a nonmetal. Take a look

at your answer in the table of compounds in the “What’s New” part of this module.

Which among the given compounds do you think can be classified as ionic and

covalent compounds based on their chemical formula and name?

9

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

Understanding the Different Properties of Compounds Ionic and covalent compounds have different physical properties that will help

distinguish them.

1. At normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, covalent compounds may

exist in solid, liquid, or a gas, while ionic compounds exist only as crystalline

solids.

The reason for this is, in covalent compounds, electrons are shared and no

full ionic charges are formed, which makes; the molecules in this compound not

strongly attracted to one another compared to ionic compounds. Thus, covalent

molecules move freely and tend to exist as liquid or gas at room temperature like

alcohol, which is widely used as a disinfectant, fuel, and as a main component of

alcoholic beverages.

Most ionic compounds do not actually exist as molecules; instead, the ions

are arranged in an alternating positive and negative ion bonded together in a

matrix. As a result, the ions are held rigidly together in their crystal lattice

structure, and that is why they are solid under normal atmospheric pressure and

temperature, like for example sodium chloride (NaCl), which is commonly used for

flavoring and preserving foods.

2. Ionic compounds generally have higher melting and boiling points while

covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.

Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling point because it takes a lot of

thermal energy for ions (charged atoms) in the crystal to separate them apart from

each other. On the other hand, covalent compounds have low melting and boiling

point because of the weak force of attraction between molecules. As a result, a

small amount of thermal energy can separate them.

Mara is preparing a lunch for her

family. While gathering all the ingredients for

her recipe, she is a bit confused between the

two identical canisters. One canister contains

salt (NaCl) and the other contains sugar ( ).

Both contents are white powder solid in

appearance at room temperature. Without

tasting the sample compounds in the

canister, how do you know if a compound is

salt (ionic) or sugar (covalent)?

Which is which?

Is it salt or sugar?

10

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

3. Ionic compounds are hard and brittle, while covalent compounds are soft and

flexible.

Crystal lattices are among the factors that affect the hardness and brittleness

of compounds. This refers to the symmetrical three- dimensional arrangement of

atoms inside a crystal. The crystal lattices of ionic compounds are hard and not

easily scratched, however, it is brittle, which can lead changes to its shape or size.

In contrast, covalent compounds have molecules that are weakly attracted to each

other and are easily displaced.

4. Ionic compounds have high polarity, while covalent compounds have low

polarity.

Polarity, in a compound, results in the distribution of electrical charge over

the atoms joined by a chemical bond. In a chemical bond, polarity arises from the

relative electronegativities of the elements. Electronegativity refers to the ability

of an atom to attract electrons toward itself in a chemical bond.

To determine the polarity of compounds, we simply determine the

electronegativity difference (EN) of a compound by subtracting the

electronegativity value of the elements involved in a compound. If the difference

in EN values between the metallic element and non-metallic elements is greater

than 1.9 the compound is considered as ionic in character. Covalent compound

may result in polar or nonpolar bond. Polar covalent bond results when the EN

difference of two non-metallic elements is equal to 0.5 and lower than 1.9. On the

other hand, nonpolar covalent bond results when the EN difference of non-

metallic elements is lower than 0.5. Two identical non-metallic elements

(diatomic molecules) always produce nonpolar covalent bond like nitrogen gas

(𝑁2), oxygen gas (𝑂2), and hydrogen gas (𝐻2).

5. Ionic compounds are usually soluble in water, while covalent compounds

tend to be less soluble in water.

Solubility is the ability of a substance that may exist in solid, liquid, or gas

form, referred to as the solute, to dissolve in solvent. Many ionic compounds are

highly soluble in water because water molecules, a polar solvent attract each of

the ions of an ionic compound and pull the ions away from one another. However,

ionic compounds are less soluble in solvents that contain a common ion. On the

other hand, some covalent compounds are not soluble in water: they do not

dissolve well in water. Compounds that have similar properties (particularly

polarity), tend to dissolve in each other. This concept is often expressed as “Like

dissolves like” but for substances with unlike polarities, like water and oil, where

water is polar and oil is nonpolar, these two substances are insoluble with each

other.

12

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

6. Ionic compounds tend to be less flammable than covalent compounds.

Flammability refers to the ability of a chemical substance to burn causing fire.

Combustion happens when substances containing carbon and hydrogen reacted

with oxygen gas and it will form carbon dioxide (C𝑂2) and water (𝐻2 𝑂). For

example, organic compounds which are mostly found together in covalent

compounds burn because they contain carbon and hydrogen. As a result, more

covalent compounds tend to be more flammable than ionic compounds. However,

not all covalent compounds burn. For instance, water, though a covalent, has

molecule which is bonded with a polar covalent—that is why it is hard to start fire

with it.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is an example of covalent compound that

contain flammable mixture of hydrocarbon (hydrogen and carbon) gases. It is

usually used as fuel in cooking equipment, heating appliances, and vehicles. The

flammability property of this compound require all the liquefied petroleum gas

(LPG) industry participants to observe the minimum safety standards in the

transportation and distribution of the petroleum product in cylinders under the

mandated order of the Department of Energy (DOE), stated in their department

circular (DC) 2014-01-0001 or the “The LPG Industry Rules”.

7. Ionic compounds conduct heat and electricity compared to covalent

compounds.

The conductivity of a substance refers to its ability to transmit heat and

electricity. In a chemical bond, ionic compounds are generally considered a good

conductor of electricity when dissolved or in an aqueous solution. This is because

of the presence of mobile ions (solid electrolytes) in ionic compound that can

transfer electrical charge. Ionic compounds are also considered as good conductor

of heat because the ions are all next to each other, making it possible for energy to

be transferred efficiently from one place to another.

Covalent compounds, on the other hand, are considered as good insulators of

both electricity and heat. This is the reason why that there are no mobile charged

particles and electrons are shared by atoms in a covalent bond. Moreover, covalent

compounds have molecules that are not as tightly held to each other compared to

ions in an ionic compound. As a result of this, heat does not travel well, making

heat transfer less efficient.

Take note, these are only general properties, and there are always exceptions to

every rule.

Natural Phenomena that Uses Different Properties of Ionic and

Covalent Compounds

A. Frozen Fractals of Snowflakes

13

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

Have you been dreaming of a white Christmas here in the Philippines, wherein

you can enjoy wearing your jackets while having a cup of hot chocolate over a

fireplace? Do you think it is possible for us Filipinos to witness having snow in a

yuletide season?

The Philippines is considered a tropical country, wherein according to PAGASA

(Philippine Astronomical Geophysical Atmospheric Space Administration), we

experience high relative humidity or moisture content of the atmosphere. Varying

between 71 percent in March and 85 percent in September, high humidity levels are

attributed to the high temperature and the bodies of water surrounding the

archipelago. Back in 2017, there were reports of hailstones, or ice pieces, each about

half an inch in diameter, falling over parts of Quezon City and Alabang. However,

hailstone, which refers to a frozen form of precipitation, is different from the snow.

Hailstone usually forms during a thunderstorm when upward moving air prevents ice

particles from falling from the atmosphere, making it suspended in the air as

supercooled water which freeze into the balls of ice.

In contrast, snow refers to small, soft, white pieces of ice. Snow is formed when

the temperature is low and there is moisture in the atmosphere in the form of tiny ice

crystals in clouds that stick together to become snowflakes. These snowflakes are

three- dimensional pattern with six-sided symmetry. Each molecule that joins the

snowflakes reflects the internal order of the crystal’s water molecules until eventually,

we can see its macroscopic six-sided shape. The chemical formula of snowflakes is

the same as water molecules. Therefore, the intermolecular force found in snowflakes

are a covalent bond. The hexagonal sides of snowflakes are the results of two

hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that form “bent” molecular shapes. This is a

result of the hydrogen bond that forms a dipole at the end of an oxygen atom. This

enables the hydrogen side to be positively charged and the oxygen side to be

negatively charged.

B. Chemical Reactions as a Source of Power

One of the priorities of the researchers nowadays is to explore the usage of

chemical reactions to produce electricity. Understanding electrochemistry which

refers to the study of chemical process that causes the movement of electrons to

produce electricity, would greatly help reduce environmental problem that is

caused by burning coals.

Galvanic cell which is known as voltaic cell is a type of electrochemical cell

that uses chemical reaction to produce electric current, specifically an oxidation

reduction reaction. A battery that powers your gadgets like cellphone is an example

of voltaic cell.

The diagram below illustrates different parts and functions of voltaic cell.

Figure 5: Basic Set-up of Voltaic Cell

In order to generate a flow of electric charge, a strip of metal: zinc (Zn) and

copper (Cu) is placed in an aqueous solution containing the same metal, namely the

Zinc sulfate (ZnS𝑂42+) and copper sulfate (CuS𝑂4

2+) solution. A piece of wire is hooked

to connect a strip of zinc and copper metals, which causes the electrons, to move

within the wire. Zinc, which has a weaker pull for electrons, loses electron, which goes

through the wire which makes copper that has a strong pull for electron, gain

electrons. After the zinc ions turns into Z𝑛2+, it is no longer a part of a solid zinc metal

instead it becomes metal ions that dissolves in a solution (ZnS𝑂42+). On the other hand,

when copper gained two electrons it becomes a neutral atom, that can no longer

dissolve in the solution, instead it become a part of a solid copper metal.

15

CO_Q2_Science 9_ Module 2

In terms of chemical process, moving electrons create electricity, and flow from

a piece of zinc that serve as an anode, site of oxidation to a piece of copper, which is

the cathode, the site of reduction. These two reactions involve two half reaction of

oxidation and reduction. The voltaic cells also include a salt bridge that balance the

charges and allows the ions to flow from one half cell to another. In addition, a

voltmeter is used to measure potential difference between two half cells.
